The collection under review—born of a 2010 international conference—has the express purpose of broadening the discussion of the neglected area of ritual and religion in Flavian epic. After the editor’s preface and introduction, which explains the motivation for the volume, surveys the terrain, and summarizes the content, the volume is divided into three parts: Gods and Humans (chs. 1–8), Death and Ritual (chs. 9–15), and Ritual and the Female (chs. 16–19). No conclusion. The lion’s share of the discussion is devoted to Statius; however, Silius Italicus’ Punica and Valerius Flaccus’s Argonautica are well represented. The contributors, who range from established scholars in Flavian Studies to promising up-and-comers, appear to have read, considered, and where appropriate, responded with interdiscussion to other essays, which gives the volume a robust sense of cohesion and collegiality. Readers may, however, regret that cross-referencing does not provide specific page numbers. While not a problem for broader matters, this may be a slight inconvenience for tracking down specific citations (e.g., pp. 39, 85, 95, 178, and 203).
